HTC to bring out updated Sense UI soon?

A series of photos leaked on HTCPedia reveal that the company's Sense UI will soon be updated. The photos show a Hero handset running on a new ROM. While these images show the software running on the HTC Hero, the first HTC handset to ship with the new UI will be the previously rumored Espresso handset. Eventually, however, it is expected the new software will become available on all HTC handsets.

While no official information is available from HTC regarding the Espresso, it is likely to sport a 480x320 touchscreen and 528MHz processor. An official unveiling of the handset is expected to come at Mobile World Congress in February.
